The repository is made for use inside your $HOME directory. It will ignore everything other than what it explicitly is tracking already.
cd $HOME
git init
git remote add origin git@github.com:hkdobrev/dotfiles.git
git fetch origin main
git reset --hard origin/mainIt is recommended to fork the repo and adjust it as needed.
When setting up a new computer use the init/install.sh script to install Homebrew, Homebrew bundle, rbenv, vim-plug, Composer, set up Bash 4 and the XCode CLI tools.
./init/install.shTo later update the dotfiles configuration:
cd
git pullTo update your software run the update alias which will update Ruby gems, Homebrew formulae, Composer globals and others:
updateIf ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing (such as detecting which version of ls is being used) takes place.
Here’s an example ~/.path file that adds ~/utils to the $PATH:
export PATH="$HOME/utils:$PATH"If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.
Git would try to load additional configuration via ~/git/.gitconfig.local. Use it to populate your own user information:
# Git credentials
git config --file=~/git/.gitconfig.local user.name "John Doe"
git config --file=~/git/.gitconfig.local user.email "jonh.doe@example.com"
git config --file=~/git/.gitconfig.local user.signingKey "0xABCDE"You could also use ~/.extra to override settings, functions and aliases from my dotfiles repository. It’s probably better to fork this repository for any significant changes, though.
When setting up a new Mac, you may want to install some common Homebrew formulae (after installing Homebrew, of course):
brew bundle ~/BrewfileSuggestions/improvements welcome!
